Pole structure of $P_ψ^N(4312)^+$ via machine learning and uniformized S-matrix

We probed the pole structure of the $P_ψ^{N}(4312)^{+}$ using a trained deep neural network. The training dataset was generated using uniformized independent S-matrix poles to ensure that the obtained interpretation is as model-independent as possible. To prevent possible ambiguity in the interpretation of the pole structure, we included the contribution from the off-diagonal element of the S-matrix. Five out of the six neural networks we trained favor $P_ψ^{N}(4312)^{+}$ as possibly having a three-pole structure, with one pole on each of the unphysical sheets - a first in its report. The two poles can be associated to a pole-shadow pair which is a characteristic of a true resonance. On the other hand, the last pole is most likely associated with the coupled-channel effect. The combined effect of these poles produced a peak below the $Σ^{+}_C\bar{D}^0$ which mimic the line shape of a hadronic molecule.

Interpretation of near-threshold peaks using the method of independent S-matrix poles

We propose a model-independent analysis of near-threshold enhancements using independent S-matrix poles. In this formulation, we constructed a Jost function with controllable zeros to ensure that no poles are generated on the physical Riemann sheet. We show that there is a possibility of misinterpreting the observed near-threshold signals if one utilized a limited parametrization and restrict the analysis to only one element of the S-matrix. Specifically, there is a possibility of the emergence of ambiguous pair of poles which are singularities of the full S-matrix but may not manifest in one of its elements. For a more concrete discussion, we focused on an effective two-channel scattering where the full S-matrix is a $2\times2$ matrix. We apply our method to the coupled two-channel analysis of the $P_ψ^N(4312)^+$ and found that the compact pentaquark interpretation cannot be ruled out yet.
